WATER, WATER, WATER
August 9, 2010
We would like to have you join us in a 7-week challenge to “Make, Update, or Re-supply” your 72-hour kits. Our Stake leaders, Bishop MacCabe and Sister Swenson are encouraging us to “Do it NOW.” We are excited to have everyone and anyone in the ward work with us, and be able to feel the satisfaction and peace in having your home ready for an unplanned event. The completion of this challenge will not only give you peace of mind, but it will give you the freedom to spend a possible unpleasant situation in “relative” comfort.
You were given a list of items two or three months ago to help you assemble your kits. If you have misplaced your list, we will be sharing it week by week during the challenge or you can go to the blog. Each week we will give you a portion of the list to gather/collect/or buy and put into your personal kits. The items listed will be only suggestions, (ideas to get you going on what you and your family will want in your kits.)
Please don’t become discourage if you can’t add all of the listed items at one time. Baby Steps, do what you can and get the other items when you are able. The idea is to keep you thinking about it! You will have a lot of the items already in your home, so put them in the kit, or where you will be able to get them FAST. If you need to buy something on the list, save up for it, and be watching for the item to go on sale as you shop. We will offer some of the items on the list in a group buy, (we can usually get a great deal in bulk.) If you plan for these purchases you will be able to take advantage of them as they are offered.
List for August 9-15
ITEMS and IDEAS
• Protein/Granola Bars Nut naturals, Kashi, Power bars, Jerky ($1.09-$1.80 per bar)
• Water (1 Gallon/4 liters per person, per day) Store as much as you can. WATER IS VITAL!
• By the way – do you have your water stored in your home? Barrels, jugs, bottles, etc. Click here Drinking Water it will take you to the Church's website where they have excellent instruction for how to store water! click here Water Storage
• Change of clothing Short and long, sleeved shirts, pants, jackets, socks, underwear, etc
• Can opener Make the investment – if you have to open very much cans you will be so glad you have a good one
• Pen and Paper Lots of uses in an emergency (buy a sharpie to mark things)
• Toiletries Roll of toilet paper (remove the center cardboard and flatten), feminine hygiene, tooth brush, tooth paste, floss, chapstick, hand cream, shampoo, comb, hair tie, razor, contacts, contact solution,
contact holder
Now that wasn’t so bad.
Please try to collect or buy what you can this week. Please put it all together, so much easier than looking for everything when you need it. Be the end of September, you will have some pretty awesome 72-hour kits, and hopefully feeling rather peaceful.

Creat your Emergency Plan
1. Determine what disasters your area is susceptible to. If you live in Kansas, you don't need to prepare for a hurricane, but you'd better be ready for tornadoes. While some disasters, such as fire, can happen anywhere, the hazards you might encounter vary widely from place to place. Check with your local emergency management or civil defense office, Red Cross chapter, or the National Weather Service to get an idea of what emergencies you should prepare for.
2 Find out what you should do in case a disaster strikes. The organizations above will likely be able to advise you what to do in an emergency. They may be able to provide you with evacuation maps and information about local warning systems and emergency plans. If you can't get all the information you need from officials, research your local hazards on your own. Figure out, for example, what preparations you should make for a tornado or hurricane (you can find information on many disaster situations right here on wikiHow) and how to survive if you're caught in a disaster, and determine the best evacuation routes on your own if need be. Remember, when push comes to shove, it's your responsibility to ensure your family is well prepared.
3 Pick a meeting spot and a way to get in contact with your family members. There's a good chance that all your family members won't be in the same place when disaster strikes, so it's important to have a predetermined rendezvous point. Choose a spot that will likely be safe and that is well away from your neighborhood, as you might not be able to make it back to your home.
4 Designate a friend or relative as a contact person that you, your spouse, and your children can call if you can't meet up. In order to minimize the chance that the contact person will also be affected by the disaster, choose someone who lives in a distant town or in a different state. Make sure that all your family members have the contact person's phone number with them at all times.
5 Discuss disaster scenarios with your family and make sure everyone knows what to do in all the likely emergency scenarios. It's important to educate yourself on how to respond to likely hazards, but what happens to your family if they are away from you or if you're killed or injured? It's not enough for one person in the family to know what to do--everybody should know the plan.
6 Fix potential hazards in your home. Once you've identified potential disaster scenarios, thoroughly inspect your house and try to make it as safe as possible. Here are just a few examples:
• Every home should have smoke detectors and fire extinguishers. Test smoke detectors at least once a month, and replace their batteries yearly or as needed. Fire extinguishers should be recharged according to the manufacturer's instructions, and family members should learn how to use them. Everyone should also know how to escape the house in the event of a fire.
• If you live in an area prone to earthquakes, you wouldn't want a tall, heavy bookcase sitting right next to the baby's crib, as it could be knocked over in a quake.
• If you live near woods with the possibility of forest fires, you should clear your property of brush and high grass to create a buffer zone between your home and the fire.
7 Teach your family basic life-saving techniques. Everyone who can learn CPR and first aid should take a certification class and keep their certification current. Adults and older children should know how to turn off gas, electricity and water if the house is damaged, and everyone should know how to detect a gas leak. Emergency numbers should be posted near phones, and even small children should be taught how to call 9-1-1 or the corresponding emergency number in your country.
8 Assemble a disaster kit. Be prepared for emergencies with at least a three-day supply of non-perishable food and potable water, prescription medications, first aid supplies, and other things you might need if you have no utilities and no way to purchase supplies. Keep a smaller kit in the trunk of your car. See the related wikiHow for more details on building a disaster kit. An inexpensive "pay-as-you-go" cell phone is a good addition to the kit.
9 Practice your plan. Practice makes perfect, and in a life-or-death situation, you want to respond perfectly. Periodically go over your emergency plans with your family, and update them as needed. Quiz and drill your family on important safety concepts. Do a live test with your family; make it an outing and get everyone involved. That will help you identify what works and what doesn't.
10 Have contingency plans. In the event your emergency site is unavailable or other things change, it's a good idea to have an alternate already identified.
